Thai Sweet-Garlicky Cauliflower with Red Pepper Strips

[Guest guest]

Wonderful dish. I love cauliflower made this way. (I usually steam or boil and

pour on cheese sauce. Very fattening.) But this recipe is so easy, so healthy,

the taste is just perfect and there is almost no fat. You can use half

broccoli, too. Has an Asian taste. Yummmmmmy!

Thai Sweet-Garlicky Cauliflower with Red Pepper Strips

 

Recipe By :The Passionate Vegetarian by Crescent Dragonwagon

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Cauliflower

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon mild vegetable oil -- such as corn, canola

- or peanut

1 tablespoon garlic -- coarsely chopped

1/2 medium cauliflower -- cut into florets

2 tablespoons water

1/2 small onion -- sliced vertically into crescents

1/2 red bell pepper -- cut into thin strips

1/2 yellow bell pepper -- cut into thin strips

3 tablespoons tamari soy sauce -- or shoyu soy sauce

2 tablespoons sugar

salt to taste

 

Heat the oil in wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot

enough to immediately set a chunk of garlic sizzling, it's ready. Drop in all

of the garlic and stir-fry until barely golden, about 15 seconds. Add the

cauliflower. Add the water and cover. Steam for 30 seconds, then uncover and

allow the water to evaporate without stirring. When the pan is almost dry and

the cauliflower is tender, add the onion, bell pepper, tamari, and sugar. Toss

to combine well. Taste, and if necessary, add salt. Serve hot. Serves 4 to 6.

 

Kitchen tested and typed for you by Brenda Adams, 12/02. Wonderful! Crunchy

onions and peppers with nicely cooked cauliflower in a soy sauce/sugar/garlic

sauce that is not thickened. I loved this simple and easy dish. I didn't have

a yellow bell pepper...so I used green along with the red.

NOTES : " Turn this into an entree by adding 4 ounces diced commercial baked

savory or Thai-style tofu at the last. " Recipe works well with half broccoli

and half cauliflower.
